Good reading. Thank you for sharing.

I did not prune my Husky at all; it grows like a tidy bush and gave
excellent production last year, outlasted the other varieties.
Beefstake, Early Girl, Better Boy were desuckered and caged. I'm
curious to see if the Husky or Early Girl will produce the first ripe
tomatos.
